2019 Domaine Giachino Apremont "Frères Giac", Savoie, France

Product information

The Giachino estate maintains its vineyards and produces wines based on organic methods. Wine producers for over 20 years, our vineyards are based in the Chartreuse regional park in the department of Savoie. The estate comprises various small, organically farmed vineyards on the slopes of Mount Granier, encompassing the communes of Chapareillan, les Marches and Aprement. Respect for nature and the environment has always been close to their hearts.  Our organic wines are produced in full compliance with the AB (Organic Agriculture) and Nature & Progrès (Nature and Progress) labels.

The complete conversion to organic farming in 2006 was the outcome of a long process. Moving away from conventional wine-producing methods meant making fundamental changes to their typical ways of working. It also opened up a new relationship with the vines, for example in handling the vagaries of the weather and the seasons. But these are the values to which we are committed and which we also hope to transmit to our children.

Becoming more deeply involved with the land and vines brings out the region’s true flavours. What makes these wines special is the winemakers' preference for cultivating grapes that are unique to the Savoie.
